Frequently Asked Questions About Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth, changing their color, shape, size, or length to create a more aesthetically pleasing smile. Porcelain veneers are known for their durability and natural appearance, often lasting 10-20 years with proper care.
The porcelain veneer process at Tampa Implant and General Dentistry Center typically involves three visits and several key steps: 1. Consultation and Planning: Dr. Nanavati conducts a comprehensive examination, discusses your smile goals, and determines if veneers are right for you. X-rays and impressions may be taken. 2. Preparation: – A small amount of enamel (about 0.5mm) is removed from the tooth surface to accommodate the veneer. – An impression or model of your tooth is made and sent to a dental laboratory. – This process usually takes 2-4 weeks, during which temporary veneers may be placed. 3. Bonding: – Before permanently cementing the veneer, Dr. Nanavati will temporarily place it on your tooth to check its fit and color. – The veneer will be repeatedly removed and trimmed to achieve the proper fit. – Your tooth will be cleaned, polished, and etched to ensure a strong bonding process. – Special cement is applied to the veneer, and it’s placed on your tooth. – A special light beam activates chemicals in the cement, causing it to harden quickly. 4. Final Steps: – Excess cement is removed, and final adjustments are made to your bite. – A follow-up visit may be scheduled to check gum health and veneer placement.

Pros of Porcelain Veneers:

  • Dramatic smile transformation
  • Natural-looking results
  • Highly stain-resistant
  • Durable and long-lasting (10-20 years with proper care)
  • Can address multiple cosmetic issues at once
  • Minimally invasive compared to crowns
  • Color can be selected to make darker teeth appear whiter

Cons of Teeth Veneers

  • Irreversible process due to enamel removal
  • More expensive than some other cosmetic options
  • May increase tooth sensitivity initially, especially to hot and cold
  • Cannot be repaired if chipped or cracked; replacement is usually necessary
  • Not recommended for those with unhealthy teeth, weakened teeth, or insufficient existing enamel
  • Not suitable for those who clench or grind their teeth excessively
The cost of porcelain veneers typically ranges from $925 to $2,500 per tooth in the Tampa area, varying based on the number of teeth treated and case complexity. At our practice, we provide transparent pricing with a detailed cost breakdown during your consultation. Our pricing includes all necessary appointments, custom fabrication, and fitting of your veneers. To increase accessibility, we offer flexible payment plans and accept most major insurance plans.
Porcelain veneers and composite veneers each have their advantages. Porcelain veneers are more durable, stain-resistant, and can look more natural, especially for extensive smile makeovers. They typically last 10-20 years, compared to 5-7 years for composite veneers. Composite veneers, while less expensive, are less durable and may stain over time. However, they can often be completed in a single visit and require less tooth preparation. During your consultation, Dr. Nanavati will assess your specific needs and recommend the most suitable option for your smile goals.
